#39 when the fabric inspires you so much, you open a fabric store!
In Kinship - for makers who crave a vibrant life

My guest today is Nan Webb, Founder at Bolt and Spool, a cloth merchant in Cleveland, OH.
Nan began sewing at the young age of 8. Her love for pattern design, texture, and all things uncommonly beautiful inspired her to open her historic Murray Hill Road boutique in Cleveland’s Little Italy neighborhood in 2010. The storefront is a space where sewists of all levels can feel welcomed and inspired. Nan is equally comfortable with needle and thread as she is with a golf club, trowel, or bike handle in hand. Merging her passions with a degree in journalism from Ohio University and an MBA from Case Western Reserve she has established a thriving business that nourishes the sewing and crafting community in Cleveland and around the world.

Bio:
Weaver, natural dyer, zine maker, loom doctor, life artist, teacher, and lifelong learner, Jasmine Petrie of Howl at the Loom resides in the forests of her childhood in Northern Michigan. She enjoys spending time with her family, tending garden, being in nature, and occasionally traveling afar.
Jasmine holds an A.A. and Certificate in Textiles from North Central Michigan College and continues to fulfill a hunger for deeper knowledge of fiber arts by seeking further study under seasoned instructors.
Artist statement:
I find inspiration from the symbiosis of the natural world, passing of the seasons, and the dilapidation of our industrialized society – and how it is all connected. I enjoy the different textures of various textiles and let them tell me what they want to be during my process, as I seek to utilize discarded materials as the focal point of many pieces. Through my studio practice, it is my mission to have as little waste as possible and to source any new materials from local and sustainable sources.

#35 - when the door you're closing is a good one and connecting after death
In Kinship - for makers who crave a vibrant life
07/11/24 • 56 min
Today's guest, Liz Murphy is one of those you eagerly follow online (she was a knitting pattern designer and shared her family's homesteading journey) and feels like you know her in real life.
In fact, even though she doesn't know your name, you're pretty sure she's one of your dear friends, she just doesn't know it yet! At least that's what happened to me! (is that sketchy? ;-)
Over a year ago, Liz announced online that, to her very own surprise, she was shifting gears from designer knitting patterns and into offering mediumship readings.
Her email was grounded and heart-centered and I remember reading it in awe of her bravery.
Shortly after I booked a reading and had an experience that I can't logically explain. We talk a bit about it on the show!
We also talk about how Liz and her family live a life different than most and how allowing herself to shift gears and pivot when it feels right have given her a life she loves.

#34 - what do off-grid, tiny house living and sewing your own clothes have in common?
In Kinship - for makers who crave a vibrant life
06/27/24 • 73 min
Intentionality. And if there's one thing that my guest on this episode has in spades, it's intentionality!
From her self-built, off-grid tiny house compound (her words!) to her work as a textile artist, clothing and sewing pattern designer, and garment construction instructor, Ann Tilley lives in her values and on her own terms and she's a joy to behold!
Listen in as we talk about building a tiny house on wheels, the why of it and how it feels to live in it, what it's like to have solar power and what drives the desire to both live small and sustainably, as well as about beekeeping and sewing clothes and embracing life on our own terms.
Give it a listen!

#33 - Finding balance, living intentionally and coming back to walking your dog
In Kinship - for makers who crave a vibrant life
06/13/24 • 64 min
I'm over the moon that I got to talk with Sarai Mitnick, of Seamwork!
Years and years ago, as a pretty new garment sewist I found Colette Patterns and promptly devoured the Colette Sewing Handbook.
It was the intention and depth in that book, not just in the technical aspects but on the mindfulness around wardrobes and choices that struck a deep chord in my own soul and I began a journey of mindful making and learning to show up in the world fully and authentically myself.
That book was a gateway.
I've been following Sarai online for many years and I'm thrilled I got to talk with her on the podcast.
Her personal project Making Time, a substack newsletter, has the same depth and thoughtful conversation that you'll find in this episode on the podcast.
Sarai shares how she structures her day to give herself the most grounding and ease, the ways in which she gives herself grace to simply be herself and how there really isn't a finish line. We even find a wee bit of time to talk about making things and what she's excited to work on.
Give it a listen!
Sarai Mitnick
Sarai is the founder of Seamwork, a Creative Sewing Platform that helps you to design and sew your own wardrobe. She's the author of a bestselling sewing book, the host of the Seamwork YouTube channel, and co-host of the Seamwork Radio podcast.

#32 - Full Spectrum Aliveness through Burlesque Dance
In Kinship - for makers who crave a vibrant life
06/06/24 • 63 min
Have you always wanted to talk to a Burlesque dancer? Me too!
I met Kellita last year at a virtual event and was immediately drawn to her spark and playfulness.
As a five-time finalist at the Burlesque Hall of Fame, she's had a lifelong journey in dance, but also in finding her soul and our conversation did not disappoint!
We talked about living fully alive and witnessed, diving deep into the concept that to perform (or live, really) fully embodied, make it feel good to YOU! And that resonance will allow others to feel good too!
Take a listen!
You can find her online at her website, where this took my breath away...
"The most compelling part of burlesque for me is to make the soul and spirit visible via the body.
To make the mind, the heart, the body (the animal self), the soul and the spirit all visible via the body. And to carry and exude that presence and visible essence into all of life."
Or listen to her TEDx talk on the Power of Being Seen.
I had the pleasure of talking with Kellita today about
Kellita Maloof is a Conscious Burlesque Mentor, Teacher Trainer and TEDx speaker lovingly known as the Showgirl Shaman. She works at the intersection of burlesque, attachment, individuation, somatics, autoimmune recovery and soul retrieval. For 20+ years, she's been helping kind, highly sensitive women spaceholders + creatives who've been over-editing, over-adapting and over-giving – and are attracted to dance theater, expressive performance art and glitter – to trust and express themselves with confidence, presence and radiance. Kellita's mission is to support folks in dusting off the fountain of Self-Love that was hiding right in the center of their very own shimmy.

#29 - Getting Your Mojo back!
In Kinship - for makers who crave a vibrant life
03/01/24 • 29 min
Being a beginner at something you already know, seems counterintuitive. But when I was looking to deepen my artistry, reconnect to my mojo, and embrace new ways to do what I love doing, being a beginner was just what I needed.
Learning anew gave me a deeper connection to my craft and a mindset that allows for more curious experimentation rather than rushing to the end product. I highly recommend it!

#28 You CAN do all the things, but not at the same time!
In Kinship - for makers who crave a vibrant life
12/28/23 • 47 min
In this episode, I talk about that space between. Like the time between Christmas and New Year’s or the space between the end of one way of living and the beginning of another and how that space, that pause, can be beautiful and uncomfortable at the same time.
I also share about our move and where we are now physically and emotionally. And about having a great deal of grace with ourselves.
And did I manifest a SLLLOOOOWWW electric hookup?
It’s a good question.
I also share my thoughts for sewing workshops in the new year, my guest appearance on the Sew and So podcast, a new online show I’m putting together, and in mid-January a free workshop to create our intentions for a Vibrant Year!
And finally...I have decided to ground myself back into my making by taking a course on custom sewing!
Sometimes being a beginner again is just what we need to settle back into the next layer of our artistry! I am signed up for Brooks Ann Camper’s Skirt Skills (doors open Dec 30th and class starts January 10th) and I am excited to start it with fresh eyes and see where her methods take me! Want to join me? See all the details here.
